Every February, snow lanterns illuminate the town of Nagai in Yamagata Prefecture, inviting you to experience a lively evening of winter wonder and community spirit.
Just steps away from Nagai Station, you will discover streets lined with snow lanterns, each sculpted by local community members with its own unique artistic touch.
Make your way to the five designated areas filled with food trucks serving an international feast. Enjoy cuisines from Indonesia, Germany, Mexico, America, Poland, and Tanzania at nearby food trucks. You will also find live music performances, prize games, and an interactive stamp rally.
For those looking to experience winter in Japan like a local, the Nagai Snow Lantern Festival is the perfect celebration of creativity, warmth, and the joy of a community!
